Synopsis

The story takes place in Dragon Country. Nonoko is a newly appointed dentist and her mission is to protect the dragon, the guardian of the country, from tooth-cavity bacteria.

One day, amid increasingly fierce battles with the neighboring country, Nonoko finds on the dragon's tooth an unconscious boy soldier from the enemy country. His name is Bell, and he has been resurrected from inside the tooth by the dragon—a supernatural phenomenon that legend says occurs before a major disaster. As Nonoko and Bell go through a series of fierce battles, they eventually learn to accept their fate.

My opinion:
The fact that this is a 2 episodes show is not an excuse, I will criticize it like I would any other show.
Watching Ryuu no Haisha felt exactly like watching one of those toothpaste TV commercials with some stolen features from Mushishi, it has a ridiculous plot and poor characters that are boring and that made me feel nauseous from its mediocrity.
The first 30 minutes were fine but from there on it was a complete mess, making me wonder why the fk I was wasting my time watching it.
I can’t say much about it since it is an utterly forgettable and
mediocre at best show but I will do my best.
Remember, "No matter what, you are still a dentist" so everything is gonna be alright.

Story: 4/10
The story revolves around these “Dentist” people who live inside a dragon and have the job to clean and fight the bacteria monsters lurking around its teeth in order to keep the dragon functioning. Why you ask? Because that dragon is a war machine and the dragon’s teeth are both his weakness and the source of its power. How stupid does that plot sound? Very stupid but it is original to be honest.

The pacing of the story is bad and so many important things and events are not explained... and is that dragon God? How in the fk can it bring people back from the dead?

Dragons eating typhoons? People getting their asses pulled out of dragon teeth? Walking on flying airplanes like Tom Cruise? A guy that all bullets avoid? A disgusting french kiss scene? Pathetic dialogue? Toilet bacterias looking monsters? - This show has it all.

Since there are only 2 episodes I will discuss each of them in separate short paragraphs.

Episode 1: The show started with an engaging fight between the dragon and enemy battleships, introduced and presented the characters and proceeded in explaining the workings of that fantasy world, the purpose of the dragon and other things.
The first 30 minutes did a decent job but not too well, I say it could have been much, much better.

Episode 2: It was a complete mess, a cluster of unanswered questions pointless, unnatural boring fights and less that believable actions and reactions. 2nd episode did not develop the characters or do anything good plot/character wise, just an annoying waste of time.

Characters: 4/10
The characters, including the main ones, are generic, poorly characterized and one-dimensional. The support cast felt unnecessary and in the way, they are poorly done anyway.
A big problem with the show is that I did not connect with the characters, not even in the slightest. They could have all been raped then butchered and I still would not give two shits about their demise.

The protagonist, Bell, is the generic kind hearted coward who is thrown into bad situations over and over again. He does not develop at all and is poorly characterized with a shabby and riddled with holes backstory.
His death was so pathetic it made me cringe: Bell decided to not shoot and let himself get shot by a soldier in order for one of the bacterial monsters to detect the ill intent of the soldier and kill him. Are the viewers supposed to have an IQ below 30?

Nonoko, the other “main” character that feels more like a support one, is poorly characterized, one-dimensional and bland with no proper backstory. She is the happy and smiling girl that likes good food and has a positive look on life, I call it generic and very dull.

Is there an antagonist? you may ask. Yeah, there is Shibana, a sorry excuse for a villain. She is a girl that lost her lover 12 years ago and decided to put together some dumb and unrealistic plan and try to bring her lover back to life using the dragon's teeth.

Aesthetics: 8/10
The animation was great, fluid and everything you would wish for but the art was just fine, nothing special.

Sound: 5/10
A mediocre opening theme and an ending theme I skipped in both episodes. As for the background music, there is none but the voice actors do a pretty good job.

Enjoyment: 3/10
I more than disliked this show, it was a complete waste of time. After watching this, I feel like I got infected with some of the stupidity the show carries.

Overall: 5/10
I am glad Ryuu no Haisha is not a popular show and I hope it stays that way. Ryuu no Haisha has a weak plot combined with poor characters, but it does have good animation which is not enough to redeem it. I do NOT recommend watching this series.

Ryuu no Haisha is a two episode special which will take you to a fictional world with wars, magic, bugs and, of course, dragons.
The female main character is Nonoko, a cheerful girl and "Dragon Dentist". This work includes... yes, you guessed right: cleaning dragon's teeth. Now, the dragons are not those kind of dragons you are used to. I sometimes wondered during the episodes whether if those dragons were really alive or they were just machines...
The dragon dentist won't clean those teeth because they are dirty. They have little creatures that look like bacterias or bugs. I won't tell you what they really are, but
let me tell that theirs is a tough job on which these dentist risk their lives.
The male protagonist is Bell. It is early reveled that he was a soldier who died and ended up on the dragon. Both, Nonoko and Bell, start a senpai-kouhai relationship in which Nonoko teaches Bell how is it to be a dragon dentist.
From this point the story develops on a wonderful way. You will find these two episodes full of action and with a worked out background. Even though the whole animation lasts 90 minutes, the setting and characters are successfully developed.
If there is something I didn't really like is the animation itself. I must admit I'm not someone who knows much about it, but I didn't like some scenes or cameos in which you can realize that the animation is too "computer-made". I hope you can get my point from this.
Anyway, I found on Ryuu no Haisha an original story, full of action and fantasy. It is somehow refreshig to see something like this, specially when you are used to slice of life, romance, school animes. I'm sure anyone who starts watching it will want to see it until the end: I found it catchy and really enjoyable.

All right, to sum up your appointment, make sure to use mouthwash. Also, remember to floss everyday. Flossing helps get these big ass monsters out of the gaps in your teeth, which we need to kill.

TL;DR at the bottom.

Story:

With this anime comes a unique path of reincarnation involving the mythical creatures, dragons. It occurs through the teeth of the dragon, hence the anime title. With that, the requirements of a reincarnation is to have died a meaningless death, while having nothing to return to. It is a sort of redemption I think brings this anime a great uniqueness to it. When reincarnated, they are born
through the teeth over again as the same age as when they died. If successfully reborn through the teeth, the task of whoever is born through the teeth must fight monsters that are born in the gaps of the teeth.

The anime also takes place during war, one that is Humans against Dragons. The reason why was never really talked about, and it really felt like it happened out of nowhere... at first. It came to be the cliche of a hatred towards another race. Despite that, it was enjoyable enough for me to watch both episodes.

Honestly, at first, I came to watch this because I goddamn love dragons ever since I was a kid. So if you'd like some dragonic nostalgia, this is something to come to.

Animation:

The animation is quite comparable to that of Trigger. There are many times I was actually confused on whether it was CGI, or 2D. That is something I think brings this to be a high point of the series. However, there are times when it can get trippy as hell, like the opening of the first episode and some moments in the second episode. With someone like me, I like watching something as if I was inhaling drugs of the sort.

However, with the opening, it is nothing different than watching the rainbow found in a puddle just making movement.. I personally thought it was cool hehe.

Sound:

I think the seiyuus are good for how well they match the character's ego. There is not much else to say about that. The opening sounded nice.

Also, do you like dubstep? No? Then, this part will definitely be your cup of tea. For me, it was well matched to the atmospheres at the times certain soundtracks tried to invoke. It did a well job.

Characters:

This anime is about an individual who was reincarnated after being killed, and the young man's name is Bell. Bell seemed like an emotional teenager whose mood is sullied through forcing it onto himself for some strange means. However, after learning of his past life, it is understandable why he is the way he is, and I only came to root for him after learning such. Along with the main character comes Nonoko, aka the cute girl of the series aka why is she not my wife yet. With her, I feel she serves as a support for the main character after his ass being pulled out of the tooth of a dragon, and having to suffer life all over again (joke). In the end, it is up to them when it comes to saving the day.

Outside of those characters besides Godou, Arisugawa and Shibana, the other characters really felt unnecessary to the story. With what I was given on this part, I was at least able to enjoy it a little bit, so I'll give it that.

Enjoyment:

Again, I came because I love dragons. I was given more than that, which was something I found to be quite enjoyable. I was rooting for the main characters to get through the obstacles, and finding myself into doing so made the experience all the better.

TL;DR/Overall: 6.85

This is not something I recommend to anyone who wants a full-fledged story, but wants some eye candy. This is not a spectacular anime. I personally like this, despite the lacking depth the story has. There is not any huge world building which i would like to have known more about, but that IS what you get from an anime with only TWO episodes. It was enough to keep my attention while gasping at the animation, which I think is good enough.

It could be something to pull at your heart, and bring an opinion that agrees with me, or it can be something that steals your time, making you want it back.

Do I suggest it?
Do you have time to kill for some eye candy? Yes? Then it is here.
Do you want a full-fledged story explaining everything? No? Then you can pass it up.

So rarely does one come across an anime that diligently sets itself apart in the aspect of plot-portrayal. No matter the unique depiction of characters, their seemingly-unrelatable demeanour at times, or even the realization that you know almost nothing about the world the characters in the story live in (Hence intermediate scores in the Story and Character rating), you can't help but feel bedazzled by a story with such a unique setting.

It's not that Ryuu no Haisha has many twists and turns.
It's not that Ryuu no Haisha has the innate ability to
change the way you think about the world.
It's not that Ryuu no Haisha has a story that will move you to tears.

No. It's much more simple...
It simply enraptures you.
And I encourage you to watch it.
